Jamie O’Hara has told Chelsea to go out and sign Joao Felix on a permanent deal from Atletico Madrid.

Felix, who joined the Blues last month on a short-term loan, has had a hectic start to his time at Stamford Bridge.

The 23-year-old attacker has definitely looked like Chelsea’s biggest attacking threat in his three appearances so far, but a red card on his debut meant he’s missed three games through suspension as well.

He was a real livewire last night in the 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League knockouts. Despite failing to score in the contest, the Portuguese talent showed some fantastic moments of individual skill.

Joao Felix future

According to talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara, Chelsea should be making sure they sign Felix on a permanent basis.

“Joao Felix, what a player. I mean wow. Sign him now,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

The Evening Standard recently claimed that Chelsea will need to pay somewhere between £70million and £80million to sign Felix permanently in the summer.

If he continues in this kind of form, surely Blues fans will be demanding the club invest heavily to get him.

A lot of money has gone into investing and improving the Chelsea squad, particularly in attacking positions.

However, it’s loanee Felix that’s getting the fanbase extremely excited right now.

Everyone knew he was a talented individual when he joined on loan from Atletico Madrid, but the way he’s immediately stood out in the starting line-up has been very impressive.

Our worry is that Atletico may bump up his price tag this summer with every eye-catching performance.
